    <p>The import and export operations allow you to download an assessment or question pool created in the Tests &amp; Quizzes tool into an external file, and to upload from such an external file, or a format-compliant file obtained elsewhere, into an assessment or question pool. The file comprises the entire assessment, including its title, settings, questions, and other options.</p>
<p>Two import formats are available: 1) IMS QTI-complaint XML and 2) IMS Content Packaging ZIP. Content Packaging will capture links and attachments in your questions and package the file as a .zip file; you must transfer links and attachments yourself if you use IMS QTI. Both formats create an XML file of your questions with all the components labeled according to the IMS standards.</p>
<p><em>Tip: Many publishers provide test bank cartridges in IMS format. You may want to use this option if you are importing questions provided by your textbook publisher.</em></p>
